jbes-topic-selection

separate

Use when deciding whether a project fits the Journal of Business & Economic Statistics (JBES) — the methods-with-empirics fit test. Checks methodological novelty plus clear empirical relevance before time is sunk; it does not develop the method itself.

When to use

• deciding if a project fits JBES
• checking methodological novelty
• checking empirical relevance
• confirming machine-learning scope
• scope sanity check for co-authors
• evaluating methods-with-empirics fit

When not to use

• developing the method itself
• pure theory without empirical motivation
• pure application with no methodological contribution
• targeting pure-statistics theory journals
• targeting general economics journals
